This week on Say it like a Mum, we have our FIRST EVER guest! 🤍

Megan is Loz’s lifelong best friend and someone Ali has known since she was a teenager, so we’re so excited to finally have her on the podcast.

Megan is currently pregnant with her second baby, so we chat about whether she always knew she wanted another baby, how this pregnancy has been different and the struggles she’s facing with an underactive thyroid and autoimmune disease.

We also hear all about her first birth, including her induction horror story and emergency C-section, what happened and how she felt afterwards.

Then things get a little less serious 😂 We chat about sex during pregnancy, diet and nutrition, screen time for our kids, pregnancy rage and hormones before somehow ending up talking about raunchy smutty audiobooks.

Basically, three friends having a very honest conversation about pregnancy, birth, motherhood and everything in between. 🤍

If you’ve had an induction or emergency C-section, we’d love to hear your story too!

Let's talk about toddler sleep! The struggles Ali's been having and the pressure of feeling like everyone is judging you when your toddler has a tantrum in public.

We also get into contraception, the pill and the effects it can have on women, share some of your stories, and chat about our own weight loss journey and being in a calorie deficit at the moment.

Plus, we're giving our honest opinions on weight loss injections and whether they're something we'd consider.

A proper mix of motherhood, body image, opinions and the things we don't always say out loud.

We chat about how our common accents are, loving the princess treatment, how ridiculously expensive family days out have become, and the viral “wow ok” challenge that somehow made its way into our conversation.

We also get into the pressure mums can feel to be the perfect mum online, how social media can make motherhood look completely effortless, and whether we're actually seeing the reality behind the perfect posts.

As always, we're completely unfiltered and just having the conversations we'd probably be having in the mum group chat anyway.

If you've ever looked at someone online and thought “how does she make motherhood look so easy?”, this one's for you.

A shorter episode this week, but somehow we still managed to cover A LOT.

We're talking toddler tantrums and the inevitable mum meltdowns that come with them, plus a very honest chat about weight gain and body image after pregnancy.

There's also a lip blush update, Ali's ongoing debate about changing her whole hairstyle (she probably won't) and one particularly humiliating moment involving Loz, a sneeze and a bladder that clearly can't hold it in! 😂

Just another very normal conversation between two mums who have absolutely no filter.

Let's talk about the chaos of everyday mum life! The things that make us laugh, question everything and wonder why nobody warned us! 😂

Ali shares her house move update and what it's really like trying to pack up with a toddler. We chat about the potty training struggle, transferring a sleeping baby into their cot, diet and nutrients, and a hilarious follower story.

Loz also shares her latest life update… 👄

As always, we love hearing your stories and creating the mum group chat we all need. If there's something you want us to chat about, send us a message as we'd love to hear from you. 🤍

This week we're talking about the things and worries mums don't always say out loud. From nursery anxiety and unwanted opinions to the pressure of trusting someone else with your little one.

Loz shares her son's eczema journey and the things that personally helped manage his flare ups after struggling to find something that worked for him.

The products we mentioned:

🤍 HappySkin Non Paraffin Cream

🤍 HappySkin Eczema Clothing

🤍 Supermarket own porridge oats. Loz uses Asda's own brand, placed in a spare sock or tights and added to bath water.

These are things that helped Reuben, but every child is different.

We also chat about feeling judged as a parent, the nursery experience nobody prepares you for, parent and child parking, the Charlotte Dawson school parking conversation, and why we love hearing your messages and building this community.

This week we're talking all about Ali's birth story, from being induced due to her gestational diabetes and ultimately choosing an elective C section.

We chat about what recovery was really like, the emotions that come with becoming a mum, and some of the things nobody prepares you for once you're home with your baby for the very first time.

As always, we're completely honest and unfiltered, sharing the highs, lows and funny moments of motherhood.

If you'd love to know what the first night home was really like for us, this episode is for you. 🤍

Join us this week as we talk all about gestational diabetes, the weird pregnancy symptoms nobody warns you about, being made to feel like you're overreacting as a mum... and somehow ending up on the topic of what ASMR even is 😂

As always, we're completely unfiltered and just enjoy having real chats about motherhood, pregnancy, relationships and all the random things that come with them.

If you've ever thought “surely it's not just me?” while pregnant or navigating mum life, we hope you love this episode. 🤍

This episode is honest, chaotic, emotional and very unfiltered... basically exactly what Say It Like a Mum is all about.
